Preparations for Installing Your Doorbell

Before installing the new doorbell, remove your existing doorbell, and determine if you need a mounting wedge to adjust the viewing angle of the doorbell.

1. Install the doorbell on a flat and clean wall.
2. The doorbell should be placed 1.2 m (4 ft) above the ground.
3. (Optional) Use the included 15° mounting wedge for a more focused view from a specific side.
4. Avoid placing the doorbell close to a side wall in the field of view. If you must, use the mounting wedge to adjust the viewing angle to reduce reflected light from the wall for better night vision performance.

Install Your Doorbell

Follow the steps below to install your new doorbell.

Option 1. Stick to a smooth wall

1. Attach the included adhesive to the back of the bracket or the wedge. If you use the wedge to adjust angle, first affix the bracket and the wedge with screws.
   Note: The adhesive is for one-time use. Avoid re-using the adhesive to ensure its adhesion.

2. Wipe off the dust from the surface, stick the bracket or wedge with adhesive to a clean wall, and press it down for 15 seconds to ensure the bracket is firmly attached.
   Then starting from the bottom, attach the doorbell to the bracket. Note: This is applicable with tile, glass, marble, metal, stainless steel, and smooth wall surfaces.

Follow the steps below to install your new doorbell.
Option 2. Mount to the wall

1. Stick the mounting template to the desired place. Drill two holes according to the template.

2. Insert two anchors into the holes. Use the mounting screws to affix the bracket (or wedge with bracket if you use the wedge to adjust angle) over the anchors.
   Note: When mounting to uneven walls, stick the foam pad on the back of the wedge.

3. Starting from the bottom, attach the doorbell to the bracket.
   Note: If you have trouble attaching the doorbell or it causes false anti- theft alarms, check if you overtightened the screws that the bracket bent. Adjust the depth of the screw and reinstall the doorbell.
